red Samuel always placed love at the core of his life. A love of stones and creation, of course, but also the love of his clients, the passion in offering them jewels radiating happiness and light. It was to the light of his beloved Riviera that he took Thérèse, his wife, on their honeymoon, not far from the Cocteau Chapel. Joyful, sunny, spontaneous, freed of all conventions, FRED love is experienced with a capital L. Some of the Maison’s icons are the result of a love story, such as the Force 10 bracelet, conceived by Fred Samuel’s eldest son for the woman in his life. In a natural conti-nuity of this symbolic jewel are an engagement ring and wedding bands for women and men: Force 10 and Force 10 Duo. Posses-sing sleek and organic lines, strength and delicacy, in the manner of yin and yang, the collections Delphine, Fred For Love, Amour Fou, Coup de Foudre and the Soleil d’Or solitaire come together to mark a declaration of love or the anniversary of an encounter, to celebrate a marriage or a renewal of vows, to acknowledge a birth or quite simply as a spontaneous gift. Set off and escape, all the better to say yes elsewhere, alone, as a couple, on a beach with your feet in the water, creating a bubble all your own, removed from the world and time. Spice up feelings with a touch of extravagance and irreverence, embracing daring and a zest for life. Rewrite the codes to better chart your own path. This is what FRED love is, too, and love according to Pretty Woman. By inviting you to explore all the facets of love, this new collection unveils its joyful and uninhibited world, illustrated by that most uni-versal of symbols: the heart. Focusing on ultramodern, stone-set so-litaires and in sizes up to three carats, the diamond heart plays with a wealth of variations. Faceted into a heart shape, the central dia-mond is crowned by a halo of brilliants. In the round-cut version, it is held by a heart-shaped bezel. The central stone also glows on pla-tinum rings in pavé or finely cut half-hearts. By the magic of the laws of amorous attraction, the latter are irremediably attracted by their halves cut out on smooth or diamond wedding bands, produced according to the same graphic principle. And like a secret hidden against the skin, solitaires and wedding bands are set with a ruby in the hollow of their ring.
